Enjoying the U.P. (Part 1)

The weather in the U.P. has been beautiful.  We have been keeping super busy enjoying time with family.  We started out with a 4th of July parade on the 3rd.  They decided to change the Baraga parade and fireworks to the 3rd this year so unfortunately Roger, Saundra, and Vinnie were not able to join us for the parade.

Here is what we have been up to…

The girls waiting for the parade to start so they can collect candy…
